Cossack Squats with 60lbs of Chains

What are Cossack Squats?

Cossack squats are done by performing a lateral lunging motion. The toes can be slightly pointed out or straight forward during the movement. The lifter or athlete will move their feet outward to a sumo or slightly WIDER than sumo position.

From their the torso is braced and forced outward as the lifter / athletes moves to the right / left. The knee moves forward tracking over the toes and on the straight leg the toe comes up. Settling into the bottom position will depend upon your hamstring / glute flexibility and hip / ankle mobility.

The lifter / athlete can stand straight back up (easier) or slide across to the other side (harder). The slide technique keeps constant tension on the legs.

  • LOVE this movement brotha...started doing them again after seeing this video!

  • Awesome Joe!

  • Smitty, I have done this stretch in the past but never with added weight. Thats is what I meant by learning from you. You guys are the Originals brother, I give you much credit and respect.

  • Thanks brother.

  • SWEET Smitty, another original move I have not seen before and now learn from you.

    Thanks.

  • Mike,

    I appreciate the support, but it is definitely not something I came up with. This mobility / stretching movement has been around for a long time. We just added some weight.
